Step 1

Prep: Preheat the oven to 250˚F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a small bowl, stir together sugar, cinnamon and salt.

Step 3

In a second large mixing bowl, whisk egg white, water, and vanilla until frothy.

Step 4

Add pecans to egg white mixture and stir to coat.

Step 5

Add cinnamon and sugar mixture to the coated pecans and mix to combine.

Step 6

Spread nuts into a single layer on the parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 1 hour, stirring every 20 minutes. Let cool to room temperature and enjoy.

Chef’s notes

Lining your baking sheet with parchment paper makes cleanup a breeze and keeps the nuts from sticking to your baking sheet.

The oven-baked method is preferred as it caramelizes the sugar and makes the pecans crisp but easy to chew.
